There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It was a combination of very large and agressive males, and also of being many males.
They competed with each other, and so part of that agression turned to the females when none could have that lioness for himself.
But if you pay attention, as a general rule lions are very tolerant of lionesses, they allow agression and swatting towards them that, for example, a leopard would never allow.
Now, what happens when a short tempered, agressive male faces up with the wannabes tough lionesses? He, or in this case, the coalition, makes short work of said female.
